AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system effectively reduces soil compaction and wheel scrubbing by optimizing weight distribution and force application, maintaining row units on the ground while minimizing damage to the soil and plants, allowing for controlled traffic patterns and improved operational efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

During operation, planting, seeding and tillage machines or implements often require a certain amount of force or weight to keep ground-engaging tools engaged properly in the ground.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]The embodiments of the present disclosure described below are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure to the precise forms in the following detailed description. Rather, the embodiments are chosen and described so that others skilled in the art may appreciate and understand the principles and practices of the present disclosure.

[0019]In FIG. 1 of the present disclosure, a first embodiment of an implement 100 is shown as a row crop planter. The implement 100 is illustrated including a frame 102 having a draw bar 104 and a tool bar106 spanning a width thereof. At the forward end of the draw bar 104 is a tongue 108 for coupling the frame 102 to a towing vehicle such as a tractor (not shown). The tool bar 106 is shown having a main frame section 120, a first frame wing section 122, and a second frame wing section 124 extending laterally from the frame main section 120. During operation, the towing vehicle (not shown) may pull or tow the implement 100 in a forward ...

Abstract

An implement for traversing a field includes a main frame section and a frame wing section pivotally coupled to the main frame section. The frame wing section includes a wing wheel assembly for supporting the frame wing section. A hydraulic control system includes a pressure source, a control valve fluidly coupled with the pressure source, and an actuator assembly fluidly coupled to the control valve. The implement further includes a controller electrically coupled with the control valve. A wheel force sensor is configured to detect an amount of force on the wing wheel assembly and communicate the amount of force to the controller. The actuator assembly is coupled between the main frame section and the frame wing section. The controller operably controls movement of the control valve to actuate the actuator assembly and adjust the amount of force on the wing wheel assembly.

Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]The present disclosure relates to an implement, and in particular, to a method of controlling weight transfer of the implement.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]During operation, planting, seeding and tillage machines or implements often require a certain amount of force or weight to keep ground-engaging tools engaged properly in the ground. As conditions change, e.g., soil conditions, the amount of force required to maintain the amount of force changes. As it does, the amount of force transferred and applied at any given frame section of the machine or implement can change too.[0003]In addition, some conventional systems are designed to distribute excess weight on the implement or machine to all of the tires or tracks to control how much weight is handled by each, respectively. These systems often seek to distribute the weight evenly over the entire machine or implement.SUMMARY[0004]In one embodiment of the present disclosure, an agricultural implement ...
